Tricorder update #20 Tested Review Chris shows Adam round the tricorder​

​

​

​

Dear Todd, Your patience continues to be appreciated as we complete the tricorder development. Right now we are putting the finishing touches to the software and getting all the regulatory approvals and type testing completed so that we can move into full production. By now, of course, we have a handful of finished tricorders that we are using, playing with, and generally testing, pushing their functions to see if we can expose any software kinks that need smoothing out, or if there are any last minute improvements we think we can make to the tricorder and the way it feels. At this point we had originally planned to put a video or series of short videos together to show our progress, show you the fit and finish of the final production mechanicals and explore some of the features with you, but then the chance of doing an interview with Adam Savage of Tested came up. Tested is based in San Fransisco, so not exactly around the corner for a UK based team. However, the draw of visiting the Savage Shop, otherwise known as "The Cave", and showing Adam and folks at Tested the current preproduction tricorder, and thus at the same time giving you a peek at how close we are to going into full production, was opportunity we couldn't really pass up.​

​

​

​ Adam and Norm were both very keen to explore the tricorder and get to grips with some of its functions.​

​

San Fransisco is a lovely city and Adam and Norm and the whole Tested team could not have been more welcoming. Visiting the Cave and being physically immersed in the myriad of glorious prop and replica builds that ooze from every pore of the place was such a real buzz for me. A big thank you also to Jeromy Warner of YourGeekFix. Jeromy is one of the kindest and smartest guys I know and it was totally with his help we fixed up the Tested trip. I guess could tell you all about the interview and show more pictures, but really, that would spoil the fun of watching the interview for yourself. Watch Chris showing Adam around the tricorder on the Tested channel when it airs next Monday June 3, 2024. Enjoy! LLAP Chris​

Coming next time: Close up photos of the tricorder​

Just got the email and came here to post it. Should've known I'd be scooped.

Love the vibrant colours in the tricorder menu... and is that a lit moire effect I see?

 

[PicasoX]

My Spider senses were tingling,

 

[Pauleysolo]

Finally!! Glad this is still happening .

 

[enterprise0216]

At least June 3rd we get to see the Tricorder in action and whatever included features are share on the Tested YouTube channel. I am excited and looking forward to seeing it. At least they have a few prototypes they have been handling / putting them through the paces to see what needs to be improved etc etc.

 

[dbrussee]

Patience is being rewarded! I'm sure that they are very proud or they wouldn't take this to Adam Savage yet.

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Yet another reason to envy Adam Savage.

 

[Treadwell]

Shell seems a tad too glossy, and the aluminum a tad too matte.

And I'm UBER nit picking. Looking forward to it!

 

[agliarept]

IS IT JUNE 3RD YET???

 

[NakedMoleRat]

No

 

[CessnaDriver]

Is there LEDs in the moire? I see three hot spots. Hope that feature of course can be turned off.

Here’s an early picture of the moire motor. It doesn’t look like there are lights. We’ll find out Monday.

 

[FANATICO]

Despite my sometimes banter and memes…..I got my email too!

Live Long and Prosper

Peace

Really I think that looks so cool!

 

[Apollo]

As if their was any question that this was coming out or not going to be spectacular

 

[CessnaDriver]

Really I think that looks so cool!

It does, no problem with added features, just give me the option to disable.
